The Divine Service for the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost (October 9, 2022)

“Where are the Nine?” – Luke 17:11-19

What are you thankful for? Who do you thank for those blessings? May we always come to the feet of our Savior, Jesus, and give Him thanks for all that we need for this body and life! Yet, more so, we thank Him for the redemption of our bodies and souls from the leprosy of sin that He earns for us by His cross.

Pastor John Fuchs, Emeritus, graciously serves for Pastor Augustine for this service.

The Divine Service for the Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost (September 25, 2022)

“Crossing the Chasm” – Luke 16:19-31

Jesus tells the parable of a rich man and poor Lazarus to teach us about the great chasm that divides us from our heavenly Father. Only by God’s grace received by faith do we cross the chasm from hell to heaven. Only through the Word of God and the means of grace does Jesus flood the chasm and float us across on His cross to bring us from death to life. So, listen to Jesus and have life everlasting!

The Divine Service for the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost (September 18, 2022)

“The Merciful Master” – Luke 16:1-15

Jesus continues teaching His disciples with the parable of the dishonest manager. It is a contrast of mankind’s shrewdness in dealing with one another (I did something for you, now you do something for me) with the unsearchable depths of mercy that God, our true Master, has for us when our bill of sin is due. There is no bartering; only mercy. May we love and trust that Jesus has paid our bill in full!

The Divine Service for the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost (September 4, 2022)

“Be a Hater?!?” – Luke 14:25-35

Jesus lays out some really strong language and impossible tasks for our life of discipleship. If left to us to count the cost of following Jesus, no one could ever be His disciple. Thanks be to God that the Law isn’t just what God expect of us, but also to show us what Jesus fulfilled for us and for our salvation!

The Divine Service for the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost (August 28, 2022)

“What Sacrifice Looks Like” – Hebrews 13:1-17

Sacrifice. God has commanded the life of His people to be one of sacrifice. What that looks like has changed because of Christ’s perfect sacrifice for us on His cross. What does God expect of His people today? A lot. But we are capable of offering a sacrifice pleasing to God because we have Christ on our side!

The Divine Service for the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (August 21, 2022)

“The Narrow but Open Door” – Luke 13:22-30

Jesus lays down the truth of salvation. Those who try to find a back door into heaven won’t find it. Instead the narrow door will be closed and people will be begging to be let in. Yes, our Lord promises that He *has* opened the door and propped it open with His cross. Trust in the Lord and He will bring you through the narrow but open door!

The Divine Service for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost (August 14, 2022)

“Pilgrims Who Persevere” – Hebrews 12:1-13

Many thanks to Pastor John Fuchs, Emeritus, for preaching for Pastor Augustine again for this service. As Christians, we life by faith, not by sight, in this ever changing world. By God’s grace, we persevere as Christ did for us and our salvation. Jesus endures the cross for our sins. So let us continue in the strength and confidence the Lord provides to live the love He has bestowed upon us!

Due to video volunteers on vacation, this week’s service is not available. The following video service is from LCMS-based “Main Street Living” with the Rev. Mark Meier from Messiah & Grace Lutheran Churches in La Crescent and Stockton, MN.
